Abstract
The ATLAS collaboration at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has chosen the Large size multi-gap resistive strips Micromegas (MM) technology along with the small-strip Thin Gap Chambers (sTGC) for the High Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the first muon station in the high-rapidity region, the so called New Small Wheel (NSW) project. The NSW is expected to be installed in the ATLAS underground cavern in the current long shutdown. After the R&D, design and prototyping phase, series production MM and sTGC chambers are being constructed. At CERN, the final validation and integration of the modules in sectors composing the wheel is well advanced. The achievement of the requirements for these detectors revealed to be even more challenging than expected, when scaling from the small prototypes to the large dimensions. In this document the main challenges of the project, the adopted solutions and performance results are presented.

Summary
The HL-LHC aims to achieve instantaneous luminosity of 7.5×1034 cm−2 s−1. In order to cope with the increased particle rate, the experiments are required to follow a series of upgrades. The ATLAS collaboration at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has chosen the Large size multi-gap resistive strips Micromegas (MM) technology along with the small-strip Thin Gap Chambers (sTGC) for the High Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the first muon station in the high-rapidity region, the so called New Small Wheel (NSW) project. The achievement of the requirements for these detectors revealed to be even more challenging than expected, when scaling from the small prototypes to the large dimensions.
